معنی
Used for someone who has no shame.
زمینه فرهنگی
In rural Anatolia, spitting is a ritualistic act of casting out evil or showing extreme disdain. To ignore it is to be 'outside the circle of humanity.' This phrase is a staple of political satire and op-eds. It is used by all sides of the political spectrum to attack the perceived shamelessness of opponents. Similar concepts of 'thick skin' exist across the Balkans, reflecting a shared history of social honor codes where 'face' (obraz) is paramount. Younger generations use the word 'pişkin' more often, but they still use this proverb when they want to sound more 'heavy' or traditional in their insults.
